A city of nearly three million, it's the center of the Taipei–Keelung Metropolitan Area, which includes the nation's second-largest seaport and has a population of over eight million. One of the great cities of Asia, Taipei is home to one of the world's most well-known skyscrapers: Taipei 101 Center, which was the tallest building on earth in the early part of the 21st century. Here is a collection of the best drone videos of this important metropolis on the island once known as Formosa.
